i wrote in an op-ed which was very critical of the obama administration's policies and one thing in particular that i tried to argue in this article is instead of -- there were a lot of mistakes in foreign policy and in a justice system context during the obama administration, but if they had paid more attention and looked for more constructive approaches, so many threats so many national security threats to america could have been completely avoided; so, there was both a calling people out for some of their mistakes in terms of this academic article which got no real attention other than me talking to the fbi agents about it. and unfortunately one thing led to another, and just about a year and a half later -- those were meeting in the middle of 2013 after some help i was giving them -- >> way before this current scandal. >> yes. then a year and a half later in january of 2015, eric holder, pretty bharara and john karlik senior official inside obama-biden administration couple out with this indictment of three agenda russian spies and unfortunately they gave highly sensitive information, open

administration and he didn't want to put the cork in that position, so the court has to depend on its legitimacy on public acceptance of the decisions and the polls show when the court is perceived as a court of law and interpreting the constitution even when people disagree with the decisions they have confidence in the court and rule of law but when the court is perceived as being partisan, that is a dirty word and then they say they have no confidence in the court or in the rule of law. another example is a a court of law both men and women the case on late-term abortion and 2000 and at that time justice o'connor was the supreme court and they voted 5-4 and any restriction on late-term abortion was unconstitutional unless there was an exception for the life and health of the mother then o'connor retired she wants to be with her husband who is in an old age home and she is replaced first by nixon bush wanted to appoint someone else and eventually by justice alito. exactly the same facts and the statute from another state and the same issue 5-4 but the ban on partial-birth abortion i

the obama administration was new and they supported one another. they really supported this president and they were very loyal to this woman and there was a faux pas that caused a security breach at the white house. >> host: did you go up and see him at that point? >> guest: i didn't and it was a bad thing. there were other people in the room and i just i remember him telling me they are the first lady and apology and i said before what? if i did anything to offend the first lady i apologize but i was getting e-mails and text messages at the time and this is the lead up to this. i said why do you disrespect me so much. they said you told me to e-mail them and i will talk to them. i'm saying to myself what did i do to deserve this craziness and sometimes it's rough and tumble and when you are someone that they precede because i don't have the backing of the larger networks come i don't have the backing of a lot of specialty that they are to focus on the same issue to kind of have my back to follow up on questions so it's not like i was alone and to

obama administration? >> jet and probably ants that better that i could. one of things we have not touched on and i wonder if jack would agree with this. one of the things that really contributed to the success of the obama white house in the first term was a really almost flawless transition. transitions there is a popular misconception that it began upon the election of a new president. successful transitions begin a year before. they are absently critical in laying the groundwork for presidential governing. the 911 commission found a half-baked transition as the results of the recounts from the clinton white house to the bush white house may have contributed to 911 for being unprepared for 911. the fraught transition in 2020 the bloodieston transition since the civil war which i write about in my book somehow happened in spite of everything. and biden's team was it really y superb and overcoming that. but the transition to the obama white house to the bush white house. all youf have to remember is on th
